The writing is relaxed in the right places and heightened to a largely effective degree when it counts. Read full review

Village VoiceChris PackhamJul 4, 2012
On one level, it's a dark, funny tragedy, but it's also Donovan's thesis on his own craft. Read full review

Slant MagazineChris CabinJul 5, 2012
The banter is playful and brazenly self-aware, but the ideas are a bit stale and don't lead anywhere emotionally substantial or narratively spontaneous. Read full review
